I want to use HTML tags within XML file which is parsed by XSL on server. But in result it displays HTML tags as it is, those HTML tags which i want to be interpreted without mentioning them in XSL file should be interpreted as HTML tags. Could anybody tell me the solution for this problem.
e.g., in XML document I have <Title>This is a sample title named Samle Title</Title>. i mention Title tag in XSL but cann't use tag, since this part is generated dynamically.
i hope i could express my question clearly.
any help....

Hi Tanya!
If what you want is to copy HTML tags from XML document to output HTML, then you can write a generic template, which will match HTML tags and copy them:
<xsl:template match="B | P | ... "> <!�put here HTML tags you use -->
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
The whole stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="./Title"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="B | P ">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

output:
<html>
<body>This is a sample title named Samle Title
</body>
</html>

I have tried it using in many ways but somehow it's not working at my end.
I tried using
<xsl:for-each select="Item">
<xsl:template match="B">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
and then
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(@Type, 'Paragraph')">

<tr><td> </td></tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<dl>
<dd>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</dd>
</dl>
</td>
</tr>

</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>

Actually the problem was it didn't work if i use apply-templates instead it is fine with value-of here :
<xsl:value-of select="." />
